It may be used outdoors for shorter-term or sheltered applications, but prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause degradation over time. For long-term external use, additional protection or alternative materials with higher UV stability may be preferable.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I choose the right thickness and sheet size for my application?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSelect the thickness based on the load, stiffness and available space in your design: thinner sheets (around 1mm) are ideal for shims and liners, while thicker options up to 4mm provide extra rigidity for brackets or wear strips. Choose a sheet size that comfortably accommodates your component layout, allowing for machining allowances and any offcuts you may require.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Industrial
